From Geoikia-english
WebInfoButton: Information retrieval by URL (hyperlink). Information window pops out as a new browser window with the URL of the clicked object. The URL can refer to any by the user indicated location.
Steps

3. Make the layer selectable on the option boxes.
:Note The layer where the pop-up function is not made selectable, only the layer name is displayed.
4. Select the WFS and Feature Type Name. The Feature Type Name must correspond to the previous 'server' specified in the layer.
5. Choose from the list of feature type properties where the property referes to in the Url state. It is assumed here that the table contains a column that (part of) a hyperlink. Create, if necessary, using the torque table. You can specify the Title German, English and Dutch.
7. Choose the Link in the column that contains the hyperlink.
8. Fill in Url prefix so that the 'prefix' + 'column content’ forms the correct URL. A prefix may be an absolute or relative path. In case of a relative path, then the URL has to be relative to the webroot of the Geoide installation. For instance, if you want to refer to a page of an other webapplication in the same Tomcat instance, then you can do this as follows:
../<naam van andere webapp>/pagina.html
